Smart money app Plum has raised 拢16 million in Series B funding as it eyes profitability in 2025.
The London scaleup has secured 拢13.4m in funding from institutional investors after annual revenue almost doubled and assets under management tripled in 12 months to surpass 拢1 billion.
The increase was in part driven by its Cash ISA, which launched in March. It says this has opened up greater organic UK acquisition at low-to-zero cost.
The round included a second tranche of investment from strategic partner Eurobank as it eyes European expansion. New anchor investor iGrow Venture Capital joined the round alongside previous investors including Venture Friends and Ventura Capital.
The company has also raised an additional 拢2.7m via crowdfunding in Crowdcube鈥檚 most popular campaign of the year, with more than 5,500 investors from across the UK and EU participating.
Launched in 2017, Plum now has more than two million customers using its app to set money aside in 10 markets across Europe. The goal is to reach hundreds of thousands of customers in Greece by the end of 2027.
